What do you mean by most of the market abandons you? I'm actually confused on this one.

Well there's no "women in heels stomping on stamp sheets" section on pornhub, is there?

Oh, this is with regards to 'porn' still then.

The women stomping on stamp sheets bit is female domination which has always been very niche. Niche sites generally don't find themselves on pornhub because (a) their viewers like the site enough not to do that and (b) since their audience is so small, they can't afford to let it be satisfied 'for free' elsewhere.

Also I should clarify... the women stomping on sheets video likely involved a lot of verbal dirty talking as well, or provocative shots. If you actually watched it, you'd figure out its porn fairly quickly even if you weren't aroused by it.

Yes, I work in the industry. MindGeek owns like 80% of it. They even owned Playboy Digital for a little while.

It's kind of anecdotal, but the reason is Utah has good schools, nice houses, inexpensive land, and residents who do not admit to watching porn, much less try to accost people they think they recognize there.

It a little weird to me to call it porn, all of the described bespoke videos include nothing of what could be considered a sexual nature (to the conventionally minded I suppose )- you could display them on network TV in the USA when children are watching without the FCC's wrath (unless they showed the women peeing graphically and they really didn't describe the nun video very well). They sound more like customized th…

Plenty pornographic.

Loved that bit

There was, a few years ago, an article in the local newspaper abount Mindgeek by a journalist who had just found out about it. Apparently the technical challenges are pretty interesting and they maintain a low enough profile that it's possible to work there without the stigma from the general public.

You've got to be kidding. If not, then go to PornHub, and type "femdom" in the search.

It has historically had a high concentration of Mormons and this has shaped the state's culture.

I was just joking around, apparently I offended some people. I don't know anything about the industry and honestly never heard of MindGeek, but now that you're explaining it it's actually pretty interesting. How much is MindGeek worth?

Huh? Was this meant to explain why ex porn stars move to Utah?
